Other than that - it is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for the link!

Hi, Dave... On Wed, Mar 02, 2005 at 09:55:53AM -0500, Dave Inabinet wrote: We are going to be providing Internet access for customers in our waiting rooms. I'm looking for a way to have Squid force the user to a particular webpage that they have to accept the disclaimer before they are allowed to reach any web site without any type of authentication. I have seen this done at hotels other public places. Does anyone know how to accomplish this with Squid? If you don't mind a little hacking, then yes. We have discussed that on IRC for a while and this could be the solution: - Write a tiny redirector script that keeps track of IP addresses in a database. - Whenever a certain IP hasn't been online for a while redirect the user to your 'disclaimer page' and once the disclaimer has been agreed to, mark that in the database. Unfortunately the line that the redirector gets does not contain the authenticated user's name. Perhaps you can use the IDENT user name (IMHO it's pretty useless, though). One user already had set this up but unfortunately disappeared before I could get his script. Try contacting the author of the web site http://www.vanheusden.com/ - he should be the author.

[squid-users] Force users to accept a disclaimer before allowing access
We are going to be providing Internet access for customers in our waiting rooms. I'm looking for a way to have Squid force the user to a particular webpage that they have to accept the disclaimer before they are allowed to reach any web site without any type of authentication. I have seen this done at hotels other public places. Does anyone know how to accomplish this with Squid? The Squid box will not be the firewall. They are purchasing a small Cisco PIX just for this project. thanks.
